Graduate Students

How will I know if I am eligible to participate?

Degree candidates for November 2016, December 2016, February 2017, May 2017, and August
2017 are eligible to participate in the May 2017 Commencement ceremony.

Completion of degree requirements next Fall (2017) will place you on the May 2018
Commencement list.

To be considered for participation in the 2017 Commencement ceremony, graduate students
must have met the 3.0 grade point average minimum requirement at CLU before Spring
2017. Students planning to complete requirements by Summer 2017 and who meet the minimum
grade point average requirements prior to the spring term, may be listed as candidates
for their degree for the May 2017 ceremony. August candidates should normally be within
6-8 credits of completion of the requirements after the spring term and must be pre-registered for summer school at CLU by April 1, 2017 to be eligible for the
May 2017 ceremony.

All students planning to graduate in the summer of2017and walk in the May 2017 commencement ceremony are required to take all summer courses at CLU. If students opt to take summer courses outside of CLU, they
will not be eligible for the 2017 ceremony. If required courses are not offered at
CLU in the summer, the student will not be allowed to walk; therefore, students must
plan accordingly when registering for the Spring 2017 semester.
